Move the post_unbind_rust callback before devres_release_all() in
device_unbind_cleanup().
With drvdata() removed, the driver's bus device private data is only
accessible by the owning driver itself. It is hence safe to drop the
driver's bus device private data before devres actions are released.
This reordering is the key enabler for Higher-Ranked Lifetime Types
(HRT) in Rust device drivers -- it allows driver structs to hold direct
references to devres-managed resources, because the bus device private
data (and with it all such references) is guaranteed to be dropped while
the underlying devres resources are still alive.
Without this change, devres resources would be freed first, leaving the
driver's bus device private data with dangling references during its
destructor.

From: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>
There are a few cases, e.g. when dealing with data referencing each other,
one might want to write code that are generic over lifetimes. For example,
if you want take a function that takes `&'a Foo` and gives `Bar<'a>`, you
can write:
f: impl for<'a> FnOnce(&'a Foo) -> Bar<'a>,
However, it becomes tricky when you want that function to not have a fixed
`Bar`, but have it be generic again. In this case, one needs something that
is generic over types that are themselves generic over lifetimes.
`ForLt` provides such support. It provides a trait `ForLt` which describes
a type generic over lifetime. One may use `ForLt::Of<'a>` to get an
instance of a type for a specific lifetime.
For the case of cross referencing, one would almost always want the
lifetime to be covariant. Therefore this is also made a requirement for the
`ForLt` trait, so functions with `ForLt` trait bound can assume covariance.
A macro `ForLt!()` is provided to be able to obtain a type that implements
`ForLt`. For example, `ForLt!(for<'a> Bar<'a>)` would yield a type that
`<TheType as ForLt>::Of<'a>` is `Bar<'a>`. This also works with lifetime
elision, e.g. `ForLt!(Bar<'_>)` or for types without lifetime at all, e.g.
`ForLt!(u32)`.
The API design draws inspiration from the higher-kinded-types [1] crate,
however different design decision has been taken (e.g. covariance
requirement) and the implementation is independent.
License headers use "Apache-2.0 OR MIT" because I anticipate this to be
used in pin-init crate too which is licensed as such.

Use ForLt::cast_ref() in Devres access methods, enabling lifetime
shortening for types that are covariant over their lifetime parameter.
This is a no-op for 'static types, but prepares Devres for use with
lifetime-parameterized types such as pci::Bar<'_, SIZE>.
Add DevresGuard as a wrapper around RevocableGuard that applies
ForLt::cast_ref() on deref().

Please disregard this patch, it does nothing for this patch series.
It sneaked in from a subsequent series I work on which makes device resource
types, such as pci::Bar, ForLt!() types themselves.
One difficulty is that ForLt!(Bar<'_, SIZE>) fails when SIZE is a generic const
parameter, as it would require generic_const_exprs.

Generalize set_drvdata(), drvdata_obtain() and drvdata_borrow() to take
F: ForLt, enabling Higher-Ranked Lifetime Types (HRT) for device private
data.
The data is initialized as F::Of<'a> and stored as F::Of<'static>; ForLt
guarantees covariance, making it sound to shorten the stored 'static
lifetime to the borrow lifetime of &self.

Parameterize the Adapter trait with a lifetime, changing the id_info(),
of_id_info() and acpi_id_info() methods to take &'a Device<Bound> and
return &'a Self::IdInfo instead of &'static.
This is needed for the ForLt conversion of bus driver traits. Once
Driver becomes lifetime-parameterized, its IdInfo associated type may
depend on the lifetime parameter. With Adapter<'a>, the impl can set
IdInfo = <F::Of<'a> as Driver<'a>>::IdInfo and the lifetime flows
through naturally, avoiding the need for transmute.
For the current non-lifetime-parameterized Driver trait, this is a no-op
type relaxation; IdInfo is 'static and &'static coerces to &'a.

Implement Sync for Device<Bound> in addition to Device<Normal>. The
underlying struct pci_dev is the same; Bound is a zero-sized type-state
marker that does not affect thread safety.
This is needed for pci::Bar to hold &'a Device<Bound> (required for
Bar::into_devres()) while remaining Send.

Given that you're now implementing for two ctx marker types, it might worth changing
the existing one to spell out the `Normal` explicitly (also saves you from
having to spell it out in the comment).
It might also make sense to write a comment to say that why it's not the case
for `Device<Core>`.
Best,
Gary

I don't think this belongs in this commit and I'm not sure it is worth creating
new ones for only this purpose.

I think the documentation in [1] explains (or at least implies) it. Where do you
suggest to put such a comment? It seems a bit repretitive to have it for all bus
devices.

The underlying `struct device` is the same for all device contexts;
`Bound` is a zero-sized type-state marker that does not affect thread
safety. Implement `Sync` for `Device<Bound>` with the same safety
argument as the existing `Device<Normal>` implementation.
This is needed for types that hold `&'a Device<Bound>`, such as
`io::mem::IoMem`, to be `Send`.

Make pci::Driver take a lifetime parameter 'a that ties device resources
to the binding scope.
Internally, Adapter<T: Driver> becomes Adapter<F: ForLt> with a HRTB
bound for<'a> F::Of<'a>: Driver<'a>; module_pci_driver! wraps the driver
type in ForLt!() so drivers don't have to.

Make platform::Driver take a lifetime parameter 'a that ties device
resources to the binding scope.
Internally, Adapter<T: Driver> becomes Adapter<F: ForLt> with a bound
for<'a> F::Of<'a>: Driver<'a>; module_platform_driver! wraps the driver
type in ForLt!() so drivers don't have to.

Make auxiliary::Driver take a lifetime parameter 'a that ties device
resources to the binding scope.
Internally, Adapter<T: Driver> becomes Adapter<F: ForLt> with a bound
for<'a> F::Of<'a>: Driver<'a>; module_auxiliary_driver! wraps the driver
type in ForLt!() so drivers don't have to.

Generalize Registration<T> to Registration<F: ForLt> and
Device::registration_data<F: ForLt>() to return Pin<&F::Of<'_>>.
The stored 'static lifetime is shortened to the borrow lifetime of &self
via ForLt::cast_ref; ForLt's covariance guarantee makes this sound.

Make the Data struct lifetime-parameterized, storing a reference to the
parent pci::Device<Bound>. This demonstrates that registration data can
hold device resources tied to the parent driver's lifetime.
In connect(), retrieve the parent PCI device from the registration data
rather than casting through adev.parent().

Make usb::Driver take a lifetime parameter 'a that ties device resources
to the binding scope.
Internally, Adapter<T: Driver> becomes Adapter<F: ForLt> with a bound
for<'a> F::Of<'a>: Driver<'a>; module_usb_driver! wraps the driver type
in ForLt!() so drivers don't have to.

Make i2c::Driver take a lifetime parameter 'a that ties device resources
to the binding scope.
Internally, Adapter<T: Driver> becomes Adapter<F: ForLt> with a bound
for<'a> F::Of<'a>: Driver<'a>; module_i2c_driver! wraps the driver type
in ForLt!() so drivers don't have to.

Convert pci::Bar<SIZE> to pci::Bar<'a, SIZE>, storing &'a Device<Bound>
to tie the BAR mapping lifetime to the device.
iomap_region_sized() now returns Result<Bar<'a, SIZE>> directly instead
of impl PinInit<Devres<Bar<SIZE>>, Error>.
Add Bar::into_devres() to consume the bar and register it as a
device-managed resource, returning Devres<Bar<'static, SIZE>>. The
lifetime is erased to 'static because Devres guarantees the bar does not
actually outlive the device -- access is revoked on unbind.

Add a lifetime parameter to IoMem<'a, SIZE> and ExclusiveIoMem<'a,
SIZE>, storing a &'a Device<Bound> reference to tie the mapping to the
device's lifetime.
This mirrors the pci::Bar<'a, SIZE> design and enables drivers to hold
I/O memory mappings directly in their HRT private data, tied to the
device lifetime.
IoRequest::iomap_* methods now return the mapping directly instead of
wrapping it in Devres. Callers that need device-managed revocation can
call the new into_devres() method.

Convert the sample driver to SampleDriver<'a>, taking advantage of the
lifetime-parameterized Driver trait.
The driver struct holds &'a pci::Device directly instead of
ARef<pci::Device>, and pci::Bar<'a> directly instead of
Devres<pci::Bar>. This removes PinnedDrop, pin_init_scope, and runtime
revocation checks on BAR access.

Take advantage of the lifetime-parameterized pci::Bar<'a> to hold the
BAR mapping directly in NovaCore<'a>, and pass a borrowed reference to
Gpu<'a>.
This eliminates the Arc<Devres<Bar0>> indirection, removes runtime
revocation checks for BAR access, and simplifies Gpu::unbind().

Now that SysmemFlush can borrow the Bar via HRT lifetime, store a &'a
Bar0 reference and implement Drop to automatically unregister the
sysmem flush page. This removes the need for manual unregister() calls
and the Gpu::unbind() method.
Reported-by: Eliot Courtney <ecourtney@nvidia.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260409-fix-systemflush-v1-1-a1d6c968f17c@nvidia.com/

Now that SysmemFlush is lifetime-parameterized, the ARef<Device> is
unnecessary -- a plain &'a Device reference suffices.

Take advantage of the lifetime-parameterized IoMem<'a> to use the
memory mapping directly during probe, eliminating the Arc<Devres<IoMem>>
indirection.
Since the IoMem is only used during probe, this also simplifies
Register::read/write to be infallible -- the Devres access check is no
longer needed, so reads return u32 directly and writes return ().

Not yet updated to Tyr using the register!() macro, but probably good enough for

I didn't try to understand what you do here, but there is nothing
scheduled so far for the pwm_th1520 driver in my tree, so
Acked-by: Uwe Kleine-König <ukleinek@kernel.org>
for patches #12 and #19 touching this driver for merging through (I
guess) the rust tree. Maybe Michal wants to say something about the
actual change.
Best regards

Compressed to one sentence, it is driver core plumbing to allow bus device
private data (and registration data) to represent their lifetime being tied to
the device / driver lifecycle with native Rust lifetimes.
Drivers can take advantage of this subsequently; for reference see the nova-core
changes at the end of this series.

Thanks -- as mentioned, it is driver core plumbing, so eventually I'll take it
through the driver core tree.
